Well waddaya know. I've got a shower of my own.

[Actually he's been home (or in his cabin anyway) over an hour. He'd returned from his shift, and bam. Shower.

So of course he had to test it out before announcing anything. Maybe it was a trick, after all--but nope.

He's graduated.]

...Thanks, Dean.

I do my best. [Her smile may possibly be a bit smug. It falters, though.] I'm still trying to figure out how it all works.

[She's lucky, that Iris can go wherever she pleases. Most people here - they have to choose.]

[anewlanguage]

Yeah? What've you worked out so far?

[bodilesswarrior]

[Her hands clasp in front of her, almost absently.] There are a lot of different theories about the multiverse. Biggest one in our world, right now, is Hypertime - it's a bit like a river system, branching off with each different choice.

If that holds true for every kind of multiverse - and a lot of what I've read is consistent with it, more or less - then I'd say the Barge is travelling between the streams, picking up passengers.

I need to figure out the how, though. What kind of space, exactly, the Barge is accessing. Iris' TARDIS can cross the streams, too, so I figure they have something in common.

Oh, they do. But she looks at the barge a bit like a ...I reckon pack leader's the nearest equivalent?

She won't let me find out bugger-all, is what I mean. The Barge doesn't want me to.

It'd defeat the magic if we knew about it. People hate anything they can find real weaknesses in...and you get to know anything, you'll find a weakness.
